The Colosseum, a new 8‑part premium documentary series, premieres July 17 at 9pm ET/PT on The History Channel.
Sohla hosts a bake-off between the Greeks and Romans to determine the champs of ancient cheesecake, in this episode of Ancient Recipes with Sohla.
Watch Sohla recreate Roman bread & cheese from Pompeii here:
RECIPES:
For Cato’s Libum:
Ingredients:
— 2 lbs of fresh farmer’s cheese
— 1 lb of white flour
— 1 egg
— 15 or so bay leaves
— a little olive oil
Recipe:
1. Add the farmer’s cheese to a bowl & pound it until it’s smooth.
2. Add the flour to the cheese and mix well.
3. Add the egg to the flour & cheese mixture and mix well until there is an even consistency.
3. Shape the mixture into a loaf. Add bay leaves to the bottom of the testum. Place the cheese loaf on the bay leaves. Close the testum & place it in coals or in an oven.
4. Cook for about 10–15 minutes.
For Athenaeus’ Cheesecake:
Ingredients:
— 2 quarts of whole goat’s milk
— 2 cups of honey
Recipe:
1. Add the milk to a large pot & bring to a boil.
2. Reduce the heat & add the honey to the milk. Simmer until curds start to form. Stir as often as needed to make sure it doesn’t burn.
3. Line a colander with cheesecloth. Pour the honey & milk mixture through the cheesecloth-lined colander. Let it sit until the whey drains out.
4. Put a sieve on top of the cheese. Flip the cheese into the sieve. Let it sit & continue to drain until it comes together.

Sohla, I think Athenious gave for granted that the Chef was going to Bake that Cream & Honey Cheesecake, so he did not mention it. I looks to raw to eat.
Definitely, the Two Ancient Cheese Cakes should be… Eaten Together!
With a glass of the Honey Whey Beer, served Warm!
Mmm that honey cheese on toasted brioche sounds divine
So libum i actually made for a final presentation since we got to do it on roman banquants with same process but the recipe i had said to top with honey and let me tell i still make it because it is suuuper delicious and i dont like cheese lol
I’ve made the similar Roman cheescake, Savillum; using Cheese & Honey.
So easy & tasty !
The ASMR thouuuugggghhhh! lol
That was actually fun to watch you make and Test. I keep yelling Honey Milk cheese cake Thank you for another great video
And if you do the Roman cheese cake with the Greek as base? 🤔
Mix the two together that will give you that sweetness along with the firm texture
Victory goes to Athenius. But what’s Cato’s opinion?
Cato the Elder: “I still think mine’s better. But other than that, I think CARTHAGE needs to be RAZED TO THE GROUND!!!”
I’d love to see some old jelly recipes that used flowers instead of fruit,
There used to be a cheese cake house by the Serpentine lake in Hyde Park in London during the restoration period that looked so cute and Samuel Peypse wrote about extensively in his diary. Would be cool to see that recreated.. think it used to have dried currents in it..
I thought of roshugulla too!
Super nice set, production, top notch research. Sohla is perfect. Adorable, trusted/credible, concise, accurate…perfect.
yum. will try the goats milk and honey recipe for sure. really love honey.
was thinking you could spread the honey mike cheese over the other one as a toping and see how that would taste. really like the idea of adding the bay leaves cooked flavor to the whole thing. since we do not own a crock cooking pot. wonder if an iron dutch oven would be ok, or would the iron change the flavor? hum.
thank you for this video and recipes.
God bless
Really, cake is flour. Cheesecake, the way we know it, it cheese cream pie.
wouldn’t the flour be stone ground whole wheat?
I think you add the curds from atheneus and add to Cato then bake.🤔
it’s so cute when she claps
Thank you and try to test it day after it made. All cheesecake got better like that
❤️🔥💓
was liking this until you said the colonisers
It’s not a debate at all — cheesecake IS a pie, just like Boston cream pie IS a cake; they’re just both misnomers. Hard to imagine even a single argument to the contrary!
Someone should combine the two recipes. Think it turn out amazing
the roman one is the original cheddar bay biscuit from red lobster LOL
Wonder if Kratos ever ate these! xD
Atreus: “So what did you do after defeating Ares, father?
Kratos: “I enjoyed cheesecake, Boi.”
Max Miller and Sohla need to be in each others lives!!❤
I’m so happy I found Sohla!. She’s so charming and I just want to hug her!
Maybe do an underground bake with the coals
I’d love to see @sortedfood s opinion on the roman one with all the bay leaves
Wait this isn’t Max Miller ?? Lame
Who taught you how to pronounce sieve like “seeve”? It’s sieve like “siv”. Love the content but seeeeeeeve grinds my ears.
I NEED a video on what became of the milk and honey whey! So interested to see those drinks you were talking about
Sohla! What did you do with the whey??
The food processor breaking was hilarious 😂
I love this
